Steps:
- To prepare for baking seven layers (the usual number): Tear off seven piece of aluminum foil, or baking pan liner paper (NOTE 1), each about 11-inches long.
- Spread softened butter lightly over a 10-inch square area in the center of each piece of foil or paper.
- Sprinkle with flour.
- Shake and tilt the foil or paper to make sure the buttered area is thoroughly floured and shake off any excess.
- On the floured area trace a 9-inch circle.
- (Use any 9-inch circular object as a pattern: the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, an inverted 9-inch cake tin, or a 9-inch pot cover.) Repeat with remaining pieces of foil or paper.
- Set aside.
- Place rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
- In the large bowl of an electric mixer at high speed, beat the 10 egg yolks for a few minutes til they are pale and lemon-colored.
- Reduce speed and gradually add sugar.
- Increase speed to high again and beat for 5 minutes or until very thick.
- Reduce speed and gradually add the flour, then again increase it to high and beat for 5 minutes more (mixture will be almost stiff), scraping the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula.
- Mix in the lemon juice and remove from the mixer.
- (The mixture will be very thick-use your fingers to get it all off the beaters.) Beat the seven whites with the salt until they hold a point- stiff, but not dry.
- Since the yolk mixture is very thick, actually stir a few spoonfuls of the whites in to lighten it a bit.
- Then fold in a few large spoonfuls three or four times til the mixture lightens.
- Gently fold in the remaining whites.
- With a large serving spoon, place two or three large spoonfuls of the batter on one of the pieces of prepared foil or paper.
- Using the back of the spoon, spread the batter thin, slowly rotaing the paper with your left hand as you spread the batter with your right hand.
- Make it thin, but do not leave any holes in it.
- A 1/4- inch thickness should give you seven layers.
- Do not make the edges too thin.
- Follow the lines closely, but don't worry, the edges can be trimmed later.
- Slide a cookie sheet under the foil or paper and bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until the top is golden brown with dark brown spots.
- If the layers are thicker than mine are, they will take longer to bake.
- If they are not baked long enough they will stick to the foil or paper.
- Repeat with remaining layers.
- If you bake more than one layer at a time, rotate the positions of the pans during baking to insure even browning.
- When a layer is baked and out of the oven, lift the corners of the foil or paper and invert onto a rack.
- Peel off the paper and immediately invert the layer onto another rack to cool, right side up.
- (Letting the layer cool upside down will make it stick to the rack.) When you run out of racks, layers may cool on smooth toweling that has been dusted with confectioner's sugar.
- When you run out of room, cooled layers may be stacked if you sprinkle the tops lightly with confectioner's sugar and place wax paper between them.
- Cooled layers may be trimmed to even the edges.
- Working on a board, place an 8-1/2 inch or 9-inch pot cover or cake pan on the layer.
- Cut around with a small sharp knife and then cut with scissors.
- FILLING AND ICING: Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot water on moderate heat.
- Remove from heat, stir until smooth, and set aside to cool completely.
- In small bowl of electric mixer cream the butter.
- Add vanilla and egg yolks and beat well.
- Add sugar and cooled chocolate.
- Beat until thoroughly mixed, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Place four strips of wax paper around the outer edges of a cake plate.
- Place one cake layer on the plate and with a long, narrow metal spatula spread with a thin layer of the chocolate filling.
- If you have made more than seven layers, the filling must be spread very thin, in order to have enough for all.
- Place another layer on top, adjusting it carefully so that the edges are lined up evenly.
- Continue icing the layers, stacking them as evenly as possible.
- Spread the remaining chocolate smoothly around the sides first and then over the top.
- Remove wax paper strips by pulling each one out by a narrow end and refrigerate cake for at least several hours to set the icing.
- Store in refrigerator and serve cold.
- NOTES:If you use baking pan liner paper it must be buttered and flourd for this recipe or the layers will stick to it.
- This is a very firm cake; use a sharp heavy knife for serving.
- Dobosh Torte may be made a day ahead, or it may be frozen.
- For a variation you can put cherry, raspberry or strawberry jam or preserves between one or two layers instead of the chocolate filling.

DOBOS TORTE
The word 'dobos' means 'like a drum' in Hungarian. However, this cake is named after its creator, Hungarian pastry chef Josef Dobos.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Have ready two 10-inch cardboard circles. Generously grease a 9-inch springform pan with soft butter, and dust with flour.
- Beat the egg whites until frothy, and gradually add 1 cup sugar. Beat just to soft peaks. In another bowl, beat the yolks with the milk, lemon peel, vanilla, and salt. Fold this into the egg whites. Sift the flour over the egg mixture, and fold in.
- Spread 1 1/3 cups batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 5 to 9 minutes, or until small, brown spots begin to appear on cake. Remove the cake from the oven, and remove layer from pan with a spatula. Dust the cake lightly with flour, and place on a rack to cool. Grease pan again, and repeat this process until all of the batter is used, about 6 times more. Place the layers between wax paper, and cover with a towel. Chill layers for a few hours. Make the Chocolate Buttercream.
- Layer the chilled layers on one of the cardboard rounds with the buttercream. Start with one layer; cover with the buttercream, and then press down with another layer to make a good seal. Repeat this with the remaining layers, but reserve one layer. Wrap the cake in plastic, and chill for at least 6 hours along with the remaining buttercream. Grease the other cardboard round with the shortening, and place the last layer on it.
- Place 1 cup sugar into a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Allow sugar to cook until the edges look melted and brown. Begin stirring with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sugar become an amber color, and is smooth. Carefully pour the caramel over the top of the last layer, and spread to the edges with an oiled knife. Quickly, using an oiled knife, indent the top of the caramel into 16 wedges. Allow to cool slightly, and then retouch the indents with the knife again. Place layer onto a counter top dusted with sugar, and allow the caramel to cool completely.
- Place some more buttercream on top of the chilled torte, and top with the caramel round. Frost the sides with the remaining buttercream. Chill the torte before serving.

- Heat oven to 350 F. Line four 8-inch round baking pans with parchment circles. Alternatively, you can line one 8-inch round pan with parchment, but you will have to split this cake into four layers.
- Beat egg yolks with sugar until light and lemon colored. Sprinkle ground almonds and flour over batter and fold in gently. Fold in the egg whites and lemon juice or vanilla carefully so as not to deflate the batter.
- Portion batter evenly into prepared pans. For four pans, bake about 10 to 15 minutes or until cakes pull away from sides of pan and top is golden brown.
- Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl in the microwave. Stir and set aside to cool. With a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter with the paddle attachment on low for 2 minutes, medium for 3 minutes and high for 5 minutes.
- Place egg whites and sugar in the top of a double boiler over medium heat. Whisk gently to 120 F on a candy thermometer. Transfer to a clean and dry mixer bowl and beat with the balloon whisk on high until stiff peaks form; about 5 minutes.
- On a serving platter, place one sponge cake layer and spread with 1/4 chocolate buttercream. Repeat 2 more times and top with the last sponge cake layer.
- Strain the apricot mixture and brush entire top of cake with glaze and let dry for 15 minutes.
- Place all fondant ingredients in a small saucepan and stir until well mixed. Set over low heat and stir until dissolved. Don't let the temperature exceed 100 F on a candy thermometer.
- Place chocolate-oil mixture in a squeeze bottle and set aside. Pour warm fondant over torte, tilting so the entire top is covered. If some drips down the sides, that's okay because it will be covered with the reserved buttercream.
- If the fondant is the way you like it, before it dries, take the squeeze bottle and draw 4 or 5 concentric circles on the top of the torte. Using a skewer or the tip of a knife, drag it lightly through the lines from the center of the torte to the edge 8 times to make a chevron pattern.

- Prepare Your Pans. Prepare 9-inch cake tins for baking: cut 7 circles of waxed paper, brown paper, or parchment to fit the bottom of the pans, grease the bottom of each one with butter, place the paper in it and grease that as well.
- Separate Your Eggs. The egg whites will be whipped, so absolutely no yellow can be included. This is why I strongly recommend separating eggs one at a time between two small bowls.
- Beat It. Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy; continue beating until stiff peaks are formed. Set aside... for now.
- Batter Up. Beat the egg yolks and sugar together until lemon-colored and very hick. About 1/4 cup at a time, sift the flour on top of the egg yolk and sugar mixture and fold in.
- Measure Out Batter and Bake. Take a prepared pan and spread one seventh of the batter* on the bottom as evenly as possible. Let the batter touch the sides of the pan at several points.
- Chocolate Cream Filling. Cream butter and egg white - add sugar. Moisten cocoa with water until it forms a paste and add to mixture. Beat until fluffy.
- The Frosting on the Cake. Spread filling on layers evenly (saving the best layer for top). Frost the outside of the cake. For a pre-Dobos torte main dish, here's another Hungarian fav, Chicken Paprikas.

- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Separate yolks and egg whites. Whip the yolks and the sugar together with the lemon juice and the scraped vanilla pod seeds using an electric mixer until they are light, white and creamy. Add the flour and the lemon zest and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
- In a bowl whip together the butter, the icing sugar, the cocoa, the vanilla seeds and the rum. Mix everything together until combined.
- Pick the best and most regular sponge cake. In a pan on medium heat caramelize the sugar with the lemon juice, stirring constantly. When it is very liquid and orange, pour it on the top of the sponge cake. With a buttered spatula spread and smooth the caramel on the cake. You need to work quickly not to let the caramel harden.
- Spread the chocolate buttercream on the sponge cakes, place them on top of each other. Spread the cream also on the side of the cake. Sprinkle the side of the cake with some crumbled leftover sponge cake or ground dried fruit. Place the caramel wedges on the top of the cake, placing each one of them on a piped dollop of chocolate buttercream to give them their classical slant. Before serving keep it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
